RX-8 vs. others

I have been considering wat to get:

1) a Mazda RX-8

2) Nissan 350Z

3) or the Mitsubishi EVO 8

Doin my research, i found that the 350 is the most expensive one. Followed by teh RX-8, then the EVo. OUt of all of them, the 35o has the biggest, while the RX-8 has the smallest with the three. Besides all that...which car has the most potential to have the most hp and still pass smog? Which car is actually worth all the trouble???

I am not the expert...but I do own a Mazda RX-8. I favored this car simply because I wanted a different car with 4 seats, but still a sports car. I have driven the 350Z and It seems very powerful w/a lot of aftermarket items to make it more so. I wasn't feeling the EVO...too boxey and the RX-8 handles way better around curves. If I was single I would have bought the 350Z.

p.s. the 350Z's interior and 2 seats turned me away....PEACE!

Re: RX-8 vs. others

I'd say either the Rx8 or the EVO....2 seats is lame.

Re: RX-8 vs. others

I would say the EVO has the most cost effective potential since it's already turbocharged..... although among your choices, the EVO is the worst looking....

not sure where you live but base models for all three are around $26k (i'm counting the evo rs as base).

A Mitsubishi Evolution less expensive than a Mazda RX-8 naw, how can that be!?

But seriously, I have seen RX-8s being sold for as low as around $26,000, while Mitsubishi dealers are still trying to press the EVO at least just about past the 27k mark.

But perhaps that can be explained because I live in the automotive parallel universe called New Jersey.
